Welcome to the world’s largest privately held oil and natural gas company.

Continental Resources is built to lead, not to follow. As a privately held company with stable, long-term ownership, we have the freedom to think beyond convention, act with conviction, and invest with a horizon few others can match. That independence gives us the ability to pursue new ideas, advance innovation, strengthen our capabilities, and attract and retain exceptional talent. Combined with best-in-class technical expertise, operational excellence, and an unwavering commitment to financial discipline – that freedom sets Continental apart. We are not simply participating in the future of energy. We are helping shape it.

Introducing the Continental Coliseum, future home of the world champion Oklahoma City Thunder.

In the heart of downtown Oklahoma City is the future home of the world-champion Oklahoma City Thunder. We’ve made a 15-year commitment to our city, our state, and Thunder fans across the globe. Two championship teams coming together for the benefit of all.

“The enduring strength of Continental lies in staying true to who we are while moving boldly toward what is next.”

Shelly Lambertz, Executive Chairman

“For 60 years, I’ve loved the idea of finding oil. I still love it.”

Harold Hamm, Founder and Chairman Emeritus

“Our strength lies in the commitment to thinking boldly while executing relentlessly.”

Doug Lawler, President and CEO

Our international expansion is defined by the same investment rigor that’s driving our success in the Lower 48.

It all starts with world-class rock.  Today, we are partnering in Argentina and Turkey. Think of us as explorers with discipline and focus, using our unique experience and expertise to bring the world the energy it needs.

“We were the first to deploy horizontal drilling on a large scale. We will always be oil finders. Energy explorers. And we will always do it reliably and efficiently.”

– Harold Hamm
